Republicans disguised as Democrats have struck again. The same cabal so called Democratic Chairman Jeff Spain aligned himself with to deny voters a choice in North Greenbush have struck at the county level. Spain’s attorney, Josh Ehrlich, who is also an operative of Connolly’s Independence Party and the Casales who run the town Conservative Party, filed another lawsuit yesterday to prevent a competitive election in the county legislative district special election in Schodack, Nassau and Stephentown.
Amazing that these GOP operatives fear a competitive election in a solid Republican Legislative District. The district is so solidly Republican that only one Democrat, Flora Fasoldt, has ever won a seat. The same fear drove the cross endorsement deal in North Greenbush where knowledge that Mark Evers and Lou Desso were so tainted as candidates that the only way they could be put in charge of the town was if all the competition were eliminated from the ballot.
Ehrlich, an election lawyer, is on the State Senate payroll thanks to Senator Bruno. Republicans have successfully used this attorney to knock out nearly all competitors in the primary process in North Greenbush where he enjoys the advantage of partisan GOP judges like Henry Zwack, who was assigned this most recent case.
What Ehrlich does at the State Senate is anyone’s guess. He and fellow Senate employee Tom Connolly have spent oodles of time here in Rensselaer County Supreme Court. The challenge for North Greenbush voters is to see through the process which placed Evers and Desso on all four party lines in this November election. Why would party bosses from the Democratic, Republican, Conservative and Independence Parties endorse the same candidates? The answer lies in money and power and town residents ought to be highly suspicious on the answers behind these endorsements.
The alternative remains on ROW F, the Greenbush Party. It is now the only alternative to a corrupt cross endorsement deal designed to steal an election and control of the town purse.
Tomorrow: Water District Referendum Looms on October 16th.
Late Financial Disclosure
Kyran Devery
Today is Day 75 for the North Greenbush Democratic Committee violation of State Election Law requiring the on line filing of a Financial Disclosure Report due July 15, 2007. Laws apparently don’t apply to the “reformed” democrats under Jeff Spain and his Treasurer, Tax Collector Kyran Devery.
Hint, we're told a lawsuit will be filed very shortly to force the filing of this report. Way to go Kyran!

Henry Zwack seems to be getting alot of these election related court cases lately. If I counted correctly there have been 5 of them since June and Mr. Zwack has landed 4 of them. Do I have that right?
That sounds right.
